[Pages:5]Common Drugs/Medications Known to Cause Diaphoresis Listed by Therapeutic Class

Certain prescription and non-prescription medications can cause diaphoresis (excess perspiration or sweating) as a side effect. A list of common potentially sweat-inducing medications is provided below. Medications are listed by broad therapeutic class. This list is provided as a resource and a service. It is not exhaustive and is in no way meant to replace consultation with a medical professional. Although sweating is a known side effect of the medications listed below, in most cases only a small percentage of people using the medicines experience undue sweating (in some cases less than 1%). Medications noted with an "*" are the most likely to cause sweating and the frequency of sweating as a side effect from these medications may be as high as 50%. Generic names are listed first. U.S brand names are given in parentheses, if applicable.
